Abstract

This paper presents a 90.6% 48 V-1 V/150 A two-stage hybrid switched-capacitor point-of-load (PoL) converter with a 24 V intermediate bus. The first stage of the converter is a 2:1 resonant charge pump which converts the 48 V input voltage to 24 V. The second stage of the converter is a 24:1four-phase series capacitor buck converter which is capable of delivering 150 A with two customizedfour-phase coupled inductor for vertical power delivery. The two-stage architecture combines the resonant switched-capacitor structure and the series capacitor buck configuration to achieve high efficiency, high power density, and voltage regulation. The effectiveness of the topology is verified by a 48 V-1 V/150 A prototype with a peak efficiency of 90.6% at 60 A and a full load efficiency of86.2% at 150 A. The power density of the prototype is 283 W/in3.
